The Dashboard Last Updated March 2026 The first page after logging in is the Dashboard screen. The Dashboard provides access to everything. The most important feature is the links to write Posts and Pages. You can also see recent activity on your site and in the WordPress community. Pages A Page is the most common way of adding content. It is often used to present “static” information about the site; Pages are typically “timeless” in nature. A good example of a Page is the information contained in “About” or “Contact” Pages. Learn how to create and edit Pages. Posts Posts, sometimes called “Blog Posts”, are the entries that display in reverse chronological order on your blog or News page. In contrast to Pages, Posts sometimes have comments fields beneath them and are included in your site’s RSS feed. Learn how to create and edit Posts. Media In he Media library you will find all images, multimedia files and documents uploaded to the site. You can re-use them on other pages. Learn more about how to manage Media.
